It's my party...

... and to help me celebrate my birthday today I'm offering you a Buy One Get One Free pattern offer. I've never done a Buy One Get One Free offer before and this isn't an offer that's likely to be repeated very often.

 

You can buy any pattern and get any pattern free. If you buy The Amazing Luxury Knits you could get The Easy Lace Collection for free.

Do you fancy a shawl to help you hang on to summer? Then I recommend 'Blossom', which is a half hexagon shawl.

 Or perhaps 'Cornish Rhapsody' which was the YarnAddict Mystery KAL 2011 (watch this space for news of the mystery KAL 2012 coming soon).

 Prefer triangular shawls? Then Crystal Cascade is perfect for you.

 New to lace or don't fancy tackling a big project? Carmen is small shawlette which takes just one skein of sock yarn (400m).

 Cherish has a lot of squishy garter stitch and just a little bit of lace. In fact, I fancy knitting another one of these in some yummy cashmere.

 Have you ever tried elongated stitches? Watch this video then have a go at Mar Menor (named after my favourite beach area in Spain):

or Daisy?

 Prefer cables? And want something to keep your hand warms on chilly autumn mornings? Those chilly autumn mornings will be here sooner than we think. Trethawle is a pair of fingerless gloves knitted in sock yarn.

 Wayfarer gives you the option between mittens and fingerless gloves. I wore these a lot last winter. I may need to knit another pair this winter.

To take advantage of this offer, use code: birthday to get one pattern free when you buy one pattern (or pattern collection). This offer is valid until midnight Monday 27 August in my Ravelry Pattern Shop.

As the weather forecast is pretty bad for today I'm not quite sure what I'll be doing to celebrate my birthday but I will be doing a lot of knitting. At the moment I'm working on two new shawls plus lots of swatching for new possible magazine designs.

Whatever you're doing this weekend, have a great weekend x
